Cheap, beautiful, entertaining, and highly replayable: Anomaly 2 is well worth your money.
Rayman Legends is one of the finest platform games on any system. It's bright, colourful, clever, well-designed, and the vast majority of it is a sheer joy to experience.
Another day, another PC launch riddled with bugs and issues. Battlefield 4 is a perfectly decent game with a crashing client, crashing servers, and a whole host of issues that cause lag, disconnections, graphic and sound glitches, and plenty more. When they get fixed it's easily worth a purchase; right now, it's a frustrating experience.
An utterly horrible PC port mars an otherwise very, very average Call of Duty game. Nothing to see here.
Like its name implies, Contrast is a game with a sharp difference between its highs and lows. There's a lot to like here, but it doesn't make it all that easy to do so.
A worthy expansion that refreshes and improves XCOM: Enemy Unknown in just about every way that matters.
Whimsical, witty, and beautiful: this is a sumptuous adventure with all of Double Fine's usual care and attention lovingly lavished throughout.
A bit buggy and a bit uninventive, but a loving, enjoyable tribute to RPGs of olde.
Short, but beautiful. The Wolf Among Us continues to impress.
Enjoyable, authentic, and oh-so-cool... when it doesn't break.
It would've been nice to have trickier combat or more real RPG bits and bobs, but as an interactive South Park title, this hits pretty much every mark. The Stick of Truth is puerile, authentic, and constantly hilarious.
Do you like fast-paced multiplayer shooters? Then I can pretty much guarantee you'll love the hell out of Titanfall.
Often frustrating and sometimes unfair, but the glorious flight mechanics, general compelling gameplay, and attention to detail mean Luftrausers is easily worth considering.
Nobody asked for this.
Telltale's profanity-laced murder investigation continues to balance the fantastic and the horrific with aplomb, and this episode provides some of the strongest character moments thus far.
Not without its flaws, but very few of those flaws matter too much: Moebius is, on the whole, a well-written and interesting investigation.
Child of Light perhaps doesn't shine as bright as it might, but it's nonetheless quite a dazzling sight.
Tex Murphy is back, and that's exactly as good – and as bad – as it sounds.
A solid and surprising well-written shooter that should easily please fans of the genre. It doesn't do too much more than that, but that's not really a complaint.
Decent, but not great. Watch Dogs is certainly worth playing, but it's not even close to living up to what's been shown off since it was announced.
